Looks mostly right except that the code in config-shared.in which deciedes
if a system is coherent is wrong. Basically it assumes every R10000 or
every uniprocessor system is non-coherent and that's wrong. As coherency
between CPUs and for DMA I/O is basically the same thing I've changed your
code from the use of CONFIG_CPU_CACHE_COHERENCY to CONFIG_NONCOHERENT_IO
which did already exist; I don't think we need another config symbol to
handle this. Will apply once I did a few test builds and patches the
whole thing into 2.5 ...
